The Romans overthrowed their Etruscan lord Tarquin the Proud around 500BC. The Romans hated this king so much that they concluded that they could never again have another ruler. So they set up the Roman Republic. This was a representative government yet was controlled by the well off/Rich.
-
At around 100BC, a man named Marius came around and totally transformed the Roman Military. Presently the armed forces were faithful to officers rather than the state. This enabled the triumvirate group to pick up control. In the long run, it prompted Caesar seizing power in Rome in around 45BC. Caesar was never named Emperor or King, however Dictator forever.
-
After his passing, his nephew Octavian (Augustus) could seize control after a long common war. Augustus realized that the Romans would not have a ruler, so he made himself Princeps, "first among many." This was thinly veiled attempt at keeping domineering force without annoying the average citizens. The Senate kept on existing, however just as guides to the Emperor.

By the third Century AD, the imperial throne was a significant risky place to be, as Emperors were being killed left and right. Diocletian split the Empire in the late third century, and the West was left to whither on the vine, the same..

The West was tormented by Barbarian attacks, financial disaster, and an inward battle with the development of Christianity. By the mid 400s AD, there truly was not any more of an Western Roman Empire. The Empire existed because barbarian kings continually put puppet emperors on the throne in order to ease political tensions with the East. At the point when the emperor Romulus Augustulus passed on in 476 AD, the barbarian clans didn't see the need to give even a puppet ruler any more.
